The book offers a detailed mathematical review of the subject, as well as fulsome design examples. Beginning with a description of acoustic wave propagation, along with a review of radiation from a variety of sources, the book moves on to discuss equivalent circuit models that explain wave propagation in solids and liquids. The book reviews examples of projectors and hydrophones accompanied by complete mathematical solutions. All included math is developed from first principles to a final solution using an intuitive, step-by-step approach. Introduction to Sonar Transducer Design offers professionals and students the analytical tools and assumptions required for start-to-finish transducer design. It also provides: A thorough introduction to acoustic waves and radiation, including small signals, linear acoustics, the equations of continuity, motion, the wave equation in a fluid media, and integral formulations Comprehensive explorations of the elements of transduction, including various forms of impedance, and mechanical and acoustical equivalent circuits, as well as their combination Practical discussions of waves in solid media, including homogeneous, isotropic, elastic, and solid media, piezoelectricity and piezoelectric ceramic materials, and waves in non-homogeneous, piezoelectric media In-depth examinations of sonar projectors and sonar hydrophones, including the elements and tools of sonar projector and sonar hydrophone design, as well as their applications Perfect for sonar system engineers, particularly those involved in defense, Introduction to Sonar Transducer Design will also earn a place in the libraries of acoustic, audio, underwater communication, and naval engineers.

The General

A History of the Montreal General Hospital

By: Joseph Hanaway,John H. Burgess

Officially founded in 1819, the Montreal General Hospital is recognized as a pioneering institution in North America for the many discoveries in medical research made there and for its early association with the Faculty of Medicine at McGill University - the first medical school in Canada. Covering nearly 200 years of history, The General relates the story of the hospital from its origins and founding to the transition and aftermath of its incorporation into the McGill University Health Centre in 1997. With contributions that show the perspectives of clinicians, nurses, surgeons, professors, and administrators, chapters chronicle the history of particular departments and specializations of the hospital, including cardiology, dermatology, endocrinology, neurosurgery, plastic surgery, obstetrics, emergency medicine, pathology, and radiology, as well as nursing, administration, and governance. Among the major turning points in the history of the hospital were the introduction of autopsy pathology by Sir William Osler, the debut of the electrocardiograph by Thomas Cotton in 1914, the discovery of a malignant tumour marker by Phil Gold and Samuel Freedman in 1965, its transformation from a community hospital serving anglophone Montreal to an internationally recognized academic centre during the 1950s and ’60s, and changes in governance due to the 1970 Quebec Medicare Act. Both a collective reminiscence and an extensive institutional history, The General is an engaging account of one prominent hospital’s development over nearly 200 years.

Allogeneic Immunotherapy for Malignant Diseases

By: John Barrett,Yin-Zhen Jiang

This important reference offers a comprehensive review of the graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) or -tumor (GVT) effect following allogeneic stem cell transplantation and lymphocyte transfusion, covering a wide range of topics from alloimmune responses to clinical applications of GVL, and providing the basics to understand the mechanisms of the GVL effect while demonstrating methods that use the GVL effect to cure a greater number of cancer patients. Presents preliminary data supporting the idea that allogeneic cell therapy can be used not only for the treatment of leukemia but also for metastatic solid tumors! Written by over 40 world renowned experts in the field and containing more than 1450 references for in-depth exploration of the subject, Allogeneic Immunotherapy for Malignant Diseases investigates the capacity of the donor-and the host-to destroy residual leukemia cells by allogeneic immune reaction determines how to direct immune reactions against hematopoietic malignancies safely reveals which other malignant conditions may be responsive to allogeneic-mediated graft-versus-tumor reactions covers the mechanisms that contribute to the development of responses to minor histocompatibility complex (mHC) molecules focuses on the biology of effector cells and their role in mediating GVL reactions in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) summarizes the putative impact of human mHag on the GVL effect in bone marrow transplantation (BMT) addresses the potential and limitations of oncogene-based immunotherapy examines ways to isolate and control the GVL component of allograft immunity discusses efforts to develop specific anti-leukemic T-cell immunotherapy and more! Attributing the curative effect of allogeneic stem cell transplantation to the GVL or GVT effect, Allogeneic Immunotherapy for Malignant Diseases is an indispensable reference for hematologists, clinical oncologists, immunologists and researchers in the fields of tumor immunology and cancer immunotherapy, internists, residents, and medical school students in these disciplines.

Democracy, Equality, and Justice

John Adams, Adam Smith, and Political Economy

By: John E. Hill

Challenging common interpretations of the political thought of John Adams and Adam Smith, Democracy, Equality and Justice offers an engaging and novel portrait of the political economy in America at its founding. The founders believed that liberty should not trump community, but should exist within the context of community. Drawing on extensive written records of the thought of John Adams and Adam Smith, the father of modern capitalism, Dr. John E. Hill argues that these two great men advocated a balanced, values-based, and just political economy. Adams, historically misperceived as a rugged individualist who favored aristocracy over democracy, actually emphasized political balance with no one socio-economic class dominating any other. Smith, incorrectly portrayed as a supporter of laissez-faire government, advocated economic balance with no class or individual receiving special treatment from the government. Applying their values of universalism and moderation today would significantly broaden the definition of morality in contemporary politics. Democracy, Equality and Justice is a stimulating and sophisticated text that will encourage debate over the relationship between historical ideas and contemporary economic problems.

Profits, Power, and Prohibition

Profits, Power, and Prohibition

American Alcohol Reform and the Industrializing of America, 1800-1930

By: John J. Rumbarger

This is the first comprehensive study of America's anti-liquor/anti-drug movement from its origins in the late eighteenth century through the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment in 1933. It examines the role that capitalism played in defining and shaping this reform movement. Rumbarger challenges conventional explanations of the history of this movement and offers compelling counter-arguments to explain the movement's historical development. He successfully links the ethics of business enterprise and those of moral reform of society for the betterment of enterprise. The author reveals how readily economic power is transformed—first into social power and finally into political power in the context of a bourgeois democracy. He shows that the motivation driving this reform movement was not religiosity, but profit, and that anti-liquor capitalists viewed the "human equation" as determinant of America's prospect for creating wealth.
